The federal government is prepared to increase federal health-care transfers to the provinces to over $196 billion over the next 10 years—which includes over $46 billion in new spending, says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Trudeau met with all 13 provincial and territorial premiers in Ottawa on Feb. 7 to discuss the long-awaited health-care funding deal.
